A Note From Madison
I’m all about creating a fun and comfortable experience for every couple I work with. I provide clear direction while making sure you feel completely at ease on your wedding day. My goal is to support you in every way possible, helping your day flow smoothly from start to finish.
If there is one thing I love, it is a wedding day filled with laughter, love, and a little bit of adventure. Whether it is the golden hour portraits or night on the dance floor, I live for capturing the in between moments that make your love story one-of-a-kind.
The Heart Behind the Lens
get to know madison
My journey behind the camera started with a wagging tail and a lens full of curiosity. In 2016, after getting my first dog, I found myself capturing every playful moment, adventure, and small fleeting detail – without realizing I was falling in love with photography itself. But looking back, I think it was always meant to be.
Growing up my mom was never without a camera. Whether it was a birthday, sport event, or just an ordinary afternoon with friends, she taught me the power of preserving moments.
Thoughtfully handling every detail so you can enjoy the wedding you have planned
How it began
By 2022, that love of storytelling led me to weddings, where I found my true passion: documenting love in its purest form. I believe wedding photography is more that just pictures– it is about creating a legacy.
My goal? To craft images that feel as timeless as your love story, with a blend of elegance, authenticity, and the kind of warmth that makes you relive the moment every time you see them.
kind words from clients
"From the moment Tyler and I started planning our wedding, we knew the photos would be incredibly important to us. Madison exceeded our expectations! She captured our vision perfectly, delivering timeless photos that truly reflect us as a couple. Beyond the stunning images, Madison's calming and positive presence was a gift. I was nervous about being photographed, but she made the experience fun and relaxed. We are so grateful for the beautiful pictures and the wonderful memories. Madison is our photographer for life!"
Madison + Tyler
kind words from clients
"I truly cannot say enough great things about Madison and her photography. She has been there for my husband and me from our engagement session all the way through our wedding- and we couldn’t imagine it without her. Madison did not just take beautiful photos; she made the entire experience feel effortless, joyful, and genuine. My husband, who normally dreads being in front of the camera, actually enjoyed the process- something I fully credit to Madison’s warm, professionalism, and fun personality."

kind words from clients
"Working with Madison is always an absolute pleasure! Her great personality keeps everyone always laughing and smiling making her ability to capture the natural moments of our day truly magical. The final photos were breathtaking, and we are so grateful for her talent and dedication. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking extraordinary wedding photography!"
Carley and Derek
Jake and I both attended Auburn University in the College of Ag— but somehow, we didn’t meet until years later. In 2022, our paths finally crossed at work…with chickens, of all things. We’ve been in the poultry industry ever since, and life hasn’t slowed down a bit.
We’re both always up for an adventure– whether that means loading up for a road trip, hunting before sunrise, or taking off to explore somewhere new. We got married in July 2024 in Glacier National Park because we wanted our wedding to feel like us: outdoorsy, simple, and full of the people and views we love most.
These days, we live on a farm surrounded by family, animals, and a life we are proud of! Jake doesn’t mind being in front of the camera (which comes in handy), and he’s usually the one making sure I actually get in a few photos too.
Our story shapes how I approach photography. I know how special the little in-between moments are, and I believe your photos should feel like you— honest, relaxed, and full of meaning.

My favorite things
Family has always been one of the most important to me and I will forever cherish our memories.
I grew up in a family of four with a large family tree. My tight-knit family have always been my biggest supporters & I am so thankful for them!
For as long as I can remember, my love for animals has been so strong! I am a dog-mama to three wonderful dogs; Nash, Rooster, & Sarabelle!
My favorite animal just so happens to be highland cows, & if you know me on a personal basis you know about my sweet Hunk boy!
I blame it on my mama. Or that is what I am going to stick to lol. From sour to sweet, count me in! There are no room for favorites here. I love a variety!
You best bet, I will be doing a cake testing on your wedding cake. Classic vanilla to Red Velvet for the win!
